More is more and less is a bore,極致繁盛美學
〝More is more and less is a bore〞 bold and expressive aesthetics inspired by maximalism.
將天馬行空形構於方圓之間,帶著幾何延伸放大視覺表徵,集結起童話想像力。整個場域巧妙以藝術鏈結每個面向,滿載令人驚奇的超現實感官,詮釋了極繁美學的迷人樣貌,實現「More is more and less is a bore」的真實精神。強調室內創作本無須依循常規出牌,在具秩序的美感下亦可恣意狂放盛大展現,將層層疊加的Art Deco風格衝擊釋放進藝術感官,達到精神層面的極繁之美。
Saturated with imagination and the realm of fantasy, the space is visually augmented by sundry geometric shapes and boundless forms. The touch of an artist is palpable in every aspect of the area, creating a surreal atmosphere under the alluringly extravagant aesthetics of maximalism. Here, the true spirit of "More is more and less is a bore" is realized, showing how interior design does not need to be limited to conventional styles. Portraying the flamboyant aesthetics in an orderly and tasteful way, the luxury of the Art Deco style captivates one’s senses and reaches a spiritual level.
The site of this project is adjacent to the K.M.F.A (Kaohsiung Museum of Arts). Designed by Pritzker Architecture Prize winner Hans Hollein, the museum invites people to gather here and interact with the art and the beauty of the neighborhood. The project forsakes the conventional appearance of residential buildings to instead showcase rich history surrounded by lush greenery, thereby representing the concept of a living art museum.

從超現實的瑪黑之夢為起始,串起即繁藝術
The surreal dream of Marais (Songe d'Été Marais) ties together the artistry of the space.
Containing an evocative symbolism within the panorama, the dreamscape “Songe d'Été Marais” immerses the soul in a golden aura of healing. The addition of sleek Art Deco pieces moreover enlivens the space as well as touches the heart with its comforting energy.
“Songe d'Été Marais,” the large-scale surrealistic painting behind the sofa, renders itself the main focus of the living room, extending the relaxing atmosphere of nature to the space. Beside this mural, an elegant giraffe sculpture holds a crystal lamp in its mouth, creating a layered wilderness next to the forest in the painting. The black cabinet in the wall facing the floor-to-ceiling windows is organically shaped in an irregular semi-ellipse, and its dynamic curves continue the overarching surrealism.
Next to the marble platform where people can sit and lie down in front of the windows in the living room, irregular golden columns convey a scattered tension. The openings between the columns allow one to have an unobstructed view from the living room to the dining room. Opposite to the columns and by the sofa, a projection screen can be lowered from the ceiling. Gazing around this spectacular public area, people gather among vibrant, ornate aesthetics and palettes that evoke joy.

抽象藝術的意念,鏈結日常
Abstract art merges with daily life.
金色柱群另一側是公領域用餐區,主視覺設定以荷蘭設計師 Dennis van Zanden的「Kintsugi」創作,以超現實主義表現的複合媒材,鋪陳出的立方體臉孔帶著斑駁平面層次。對應前方七座依序以月亮陰晴圓缺做為主題表現的燈具,呈現饒富趣味的展示。一旁的輕食吧檯規劃在公領域動線上,可方便各區所需支援日常輕食。其造型以錯落且平衡的微妙對比,將柱型與大理石重組延續量體視覺,將整場域的材質層次呼應的更有延伸性。
On the other side of the golden columns is where the public dining area is situated. The key visual wall uses a multi-medium technique to depict Dutch designer Dennis van Zanden’s “Kintsugi,” layering mottled cubes to form a surreal face. The wall corresponds with the seven hanging lamps above the dining table, and these sumptuous lamps artfully render the waxing and waning of the moon. For a convenient stop for light snacks during the day, the bar on the side is positioned in the circulation line of the public area. The bar’s subtle contrast between the columns and marble continues the voluminous vision and echoes the materials used in other parts of the site for an overall cohesive look.
An intermediary between the public and private areas, the inner corridor is cleverly transformed into a multi-functional open study room. The key wall displays artistically unintelligible scrawls of cursive in an open-form graffiti style. Without real words already written on the walls, people can fill the space with their own words and memories. Akin to stars scattered onto the canvas of sky, not perfectly arranged but still shining and all the more beautiful due to their disarray, the ink represents a haphazard beauty of chaos and order across the wall. Leaving the meaning open to interpretation, the space remains in a constant flux, altering in the eyes of the viewer.

With an atmosphere of tranquility, the private area is designated for rest. The design focuses on the interplay between liveliness and this serenity while preserving the residents’ unique personality in the space. The design employs meticulousness and ingenuity in the embellishment of materials, colors, and decorative art, bringing out a welcoming balance of stillness and movement in the space.
In the master bedroom, the main visual balance of movement and stillness lies in the back wall of the bedside being cleverly spliced with double arcs. The bright area left of the floor-to-ceiling window is painted a natural white. The darker side is decorated with falling leaves and painted gray with a gradient effect, with the darkest shade of gray matching the color of the wardrobe door. The space darkens from white to gray as a metaphor for passing through the light of day to sleeping at night.
The visual focus of the second bedroom, the daughter’s room, is the series of arcs, and a light spirit is created through the room’s color plan. A large arc in the wall as a headboard, arched door frames, curved half-length mirrors, and other series of soft arcs create a lively dynamic against the light pink gray and beige colors, fashioning a sweet and balanced aura.
Arrayed in neutral wood tones, the other bedroom leaves most of the space reconfigurable for future residents if they are inclined to decorate according to their own preferences. The focus of the room is the boldness of the folding marble pattern board on the bedside wall. The deep and steady nature of the wood offsets the natural variation in the swirling marble pattern, emphasizing the contrast to invite life into the quietude of the room.
動靜皆宜不僅只在表現強弱力度,更可在視覺與色彩上呈現動靜態對比,將軟裝藝術延伸進生物心理層面。
The soft decorative art reaches people’s minds and hearts. The combination of movement and stillness not only expresses strength and intensity, but also presents visual contrasts of color.
